Citizen Khan

I saw a few trailers of Citizen Khan and it looked so bad I thought I would see for myself last night. Looking past the stereotyping and the "mind your language" feel to it, was this just the most unfunny comedy on TV. Where were the jokes? The Guardian seemed to give it a rave review but then again they raved about the awful Parades End too.

I've not heard that, I've heard moans about poor acting and bad jokes but not seen anything about it causing offence, give it chance in 12 months time they may be giving it an award for something, all the best sitcoms take time to grow, not everyone gets it first time round

Father Ted was about Priests and was actually funny. Maybe priests were offended but they were not ordinary people like were shown in Citizen Khan. I found it was more like Mrs Brown's Boys. The main star was Irish/Pakistani and it was about family life. Mrs Brown was funny enough to get away with it but Citizen Khan wasn't.

I was shocked as to how bad it was. Can I have my licence fee back please? Parades End was disappointing - great filming but the accents seemed odd, why did BC bother with cheek fillers and it was boring. Will give the next episode a go just in case but no extra chances for Citizen Khan. Now Father Ted, that was pure genius right from the start and up there with all the comedy greats!
